Beginning with Team OF Horses and End.
Ing with Fortune.
In 1868 William Pitt Kellogg was in
the active service of the army, but he
still held on to his position as Supreme
Court Justice of the Territory of Ne
braska He went home in that year to
hold court for short time. On his
way to Nebraska he stopped in Illinois
at place where he had pair Of horses.
He was sick and he thought he would
take his team and drive to Nebraska,
thinking that this method of travelling
would do him good. He arrived in
Omaha with tho team, and while he
was holding court there Ben Chapman,
an old bachelor of the town, was con-
stantly borrowing the team to take
some of his lady friends out to ride.
Mr.. Kellogg did not know what to do
with the team after he had finished his
court work and had made arrange
ments to board them. But Chapman
came to him one day and offered to
trade hins some land for the team.
| They drove ont to the land through q
rough country and over marshy piece
of ground until they reached the six
teen-acre tract owned by Chapman.
They made the trade while they were
there.
Mr.. Kellogg then took ten acres of
the tract ut $50 an acre, the team, har-
ness, wagon and blankets and whip
being counted in at $500. In few
months after he purchased the other six
acres at 800 an acre. This was in
1853. He has held on to q part Of that
land with great persistence since that
time, parting only, as under pressure
from his agent at Omaha, with occa-
sional sales Of small portions. His
holding last year was reduced to little
over three acres. He sold seven-eighths
of an acre out of this tract for $38, 900.
He took that &Ss, 600 aud invested 1t in
a piece of property iu the northwest OF
Washington, known as the Widows
Mite property. He paid $4,000 more,
making $4,000 as the purchase price.
He was offered few days ago 800, COG
in cash for this Washington property.
He can sell out the balance of his real
estate tract in Omaha at any time for
S200,000 SO the team stands him to-
day clean profit Of over 100000. =

Age and Youth.

Grabbed age and youth
Cannot live together;
Youth is full of pleasance,
Age is full Of care:
Youth like summer morn,
Age like winter weather;
Youth like summer brave,
Age like winter bare.
Youth is full of sport,
Ages breath is short.
Youth is nimble, age is lame,
Youth is hot and bold,
Age is weak and cold;
Youth is wild, and age is tame.

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
HOURS OF NIGHT.

o heavenly Night When far and deep
The earth 10 wrapped In balmy sleep,
And stars their burning watches keep
Ger palace proud and lowly cot;
When all the weary hearts OF men
Breathe In the strength OF life again,
And all the throes OF racling pain
And toll and labor ara forgotl
o hours OF Night how softly fall
Your mAntling shadows, folding all,
And covering deep from our recall
The memories OF life's cruel Past
When haunting voices from the day
Grow fainter-fainter--far away
And that pure Peace for which we pray
Bindeth the trembling spirit fast.
And standing with her wings outspread
Above the lowly sleeper's bed,
She poureth balm on heart and head
And heals the wasting form with sleep.
And all the souls wild, haunting fears,
And all the burdens from the years
That crowd our hearts and move our tears,
Are lost In soothing silence deep.
o rest AID rapture OF the soul
When all the grlefs our days control,
Like shadows black and heavy, roll
Into oblivion's voiceless sea-
To be from all the heart has known,
From ell q bitter world has shown
or anguish upon anguish thrown,
AT last 1t last entirely free
He knows not life, who has not found
Beneath its hours OF night profound
Some soothing balm for every wound
Relentless care has wrought;
Who has not come from tears and pain
With purer heart and wiser brain,
And grit himself for toll again
Ofholier deeds and higher thought.
And when shah fall the solemn sleep,
That foldeth-foldeth dark and deepl
Earth's night OF nights, whereat we weep,
In dust and darkness kneeling low;
Be welcome shadows, as they fall
Be welcome Peace, that 'waiteth all,
And folds each in her sable pail,
And drops veil on earth and woei
Close then the eyes, and Ger the breast
Fold the dumb hands We oft have pressed,
And calmly whisper: Let him rest
In sleep that oometh from his Godl
For all HIS weary work Is dono,
And all the toilsome race Is run,
From rising unto setting sun
LIES rugged journey he has trod"

Meant to XII Him.

Paris cable: just as the perform
ance OF "L'Arlesienne'' was about to
begin at the Odeon theater, the di-
rector came forward and claimed in
diligence for M. Marquet, who was to act
the role Of "Frederic, 7 as he had been
the victim Of an accident. Tie audi
ence was satisfied and the play COM
menced. M. Marquet, however, seemed
to be laboring under terrible nervous
excitement. It seems Marquet's wife,
an actress, suspected her husband of
intidelity and traced himlto theapart-
ments of Mile. Sarah Veianoff, a pupil
OF the Conservatories Rue GozlDs.

Devoured by Sharks.

James Z. Hamilton, the mail car.
rler between Miami and Lake Worth,
on the South Atlantic coast, was de
Voured by a man.eater az Hillsboro
Inlet, Florida. Hamilton was astout,
atheletic young man, and carried the
mail between the two places, a dis.
lance of seventy-fve miles, on his
back, walking on the beach most Of
the way. The inlet is a dangerous
crossing, the dark waters of the Ever.
glades meeting the tides and produc-
ing q heavy and dangerous e
Sharks of the most raYenous kind
abound here.
An old fisherman who was within
half a mile OF Hamilton when he be-
gan crossing describes the tragedy
as a most horrible occurrence.
When he reached the middle
OF the inlet the sharks hocked about
the boat, leaping ten feet or more out
Of the water in their eagerness to yet
at human flesh. Hamilton fought
them with his oars, but soon both
were bitten of and dashed out OF ehis
hands. Then they assailed the boat,
tearing of huge pieces of thegunwales.
Soon it began to sink, and Hamilton
became stupeied with fear. Another
blow on the boat and he was thrown
headlong into the mass Of fierce e a
wolves. One shrek of agony, and all
was over, the sea being dyed for yards
with his likelihood. Searching parties
were sent out, but nothing was found.
The tragedy was such a horrible one
that no mail-carrier over that route
has get been secured.

VI LAND BOOM.
Prices WaY IN Among tha stara--
The Dangers to be Avoided.

Prices WAY I'm Among faa gtara--
The Dangers to be Avoided.
The wonderful land boom Of the
past year has excited very general at
tention.
~ mas not been confined TO any To-
cality, for, as chauncey NJ. Depew
said, after a visit to the west. aAt
nearly every one OF the trade centres
we visiteS, we found extravagant and
untenaole views Of prospective real
estate values"
OF course the vast army Of nen en-
gagged, in one way or another in these
enterprises, were 10th to believe their
views either extravagant or untenable.
Both they and Depew are right to a
certain extent.
Land values have rapidly and per-
m%anently increased in this country in
the last fifty years. Thisis especially
noticeable in the dumping west,
along the lines OF new railroads.
Thousands Of new cities have sprune
up, with q growth perfectly astonish.
ing, and great fortunes have been
made in real estate.
Land values must continue to in
crease generally, because the available
area OF land in the country is now SO
small as to render ineyitableits entire
absorption in a few years.
One hundred years from now. at the
present rate of increase, our ropula-
ton will be 400 to the square mile
twice as many as in the largest Euro
pean nations.
To be a safe Spectator, it IS neces-
sary to study cause and effect, as the
proprietors of Warmers safe cure did
IN preparing their remedy. It's success
is great because it reaches the cause
Of disease. Every drop of blood
coursing through the system passes
through the kidneys. II they are in
sound working order, the blood Is
purified; if deranged, poison,
that should be eliminated. is
carried through the blood channels to
every part of the system. The poi
son attacks the weak points, and so
come the long list OF resulting all
ments. Remedy the cause, put the
purifying organs in health, and the
whole system becomes healthy.
There must be a solid basis for a
land boom, however, or it will in
evitable result in a crash, entailing
great losses and subsequent injurious
depression.
Two thousand dollars per front
loot for land in some cities might be a
l%udicious investment, in Others, very
indiscreet. 1t is wise to make invest
ments OF a character Indicating a per-
manent, if slower, growth and increase
OF value.

A certain line that runs less than half way
between Wichita and st. Louis by specially
worded advertisement is endeavoring to con-
vince the travelling public that it is now run
ming trains between Wichita and st. Louis in
something like twelve hours time; also that
its trains are making that distance three
hours in advance of ali competing lines The
traveller who is tricked into taking that line
by reading the announcement, thinking that
he will enjoy a ride upon this fast limited,
will afterwards learn that be might have
saved more than two hours extra travel by
taking the popular Frisco Line" leaving
Wichita at 9:25 g. m. and $50 p. m This is
